    That’s so cool! I didn’t know they had guest bloggers on their site!

    My biggest kitchen whoops was when I was studying abroad in Norway. I wasn’t able to use an oven for the majority of the time so when I got to stay at my friend’s cabin that had one, I finally got the chance to make some American-style chocolate chip cookies. The only problem was we had no internet access, no recipe, some strange ingredient substitutions, and no measuring units that I was used to. Basically the cookies had half as much flour as they needed, we didn’t have baking soda, we had vanilla sugar instead of vanilla extract, and the list goes on. Not knowing measurements and just guessing might work…if you can remember them correctly. My friends will definitely need a different perspective of chocolate chip cookies. These were an epic fail.

    My most recent whoops was actually when I tried making the pumpkin dark chocolate chip bars that you featured on your blog a couple days ago. I was home visiting my parents this past weekend and decided to make them. I put them in the oven for 20 minutes like you said, but they were still gooey so I kept them in there for another 45 minutes until I realized I had the oven set to 275, not 375 degrees. I ended up not finishing them until 11:00pm! However, they were still delicious as my family had devoured them by the time I woke up the next morning.

    Hi Hillary!

    I would love to try the Pomegranate Chobani!

    A recent cooking “oops” happened when I was eating a turkey, avocado, and cheese panini I had made. Throughout 3/4 of the panini I noticed it was extremely hard to chew and thought I was running into tough parts of the turkey. Turned out, I had forgotten to take the paper off the slice of swiss cheese and had eaten the whole square of paper! Yuck!

    I have been reading your blog for a few months and absolutely love it because I can relate! We have a lot of the same interests, so it’s fun to read about a fellow college student. :)

    I’d love to try the pomegranate!

    So I tried to make a pizza dough recipe that called only for 3 cups of flour, baking soda, and a beer. I was lacking a fully stocked kitchen and decided to make a few replacements! 1 cup of flour became 1 cup of pancake mix, the baking soda became baking powder, and the beer became bud lite lime…topped with a pesto mix of dried basil and expired refrigerated parmesean cheese…

    I’ve since learned how to cook.

    I tried making pizza from scratch, and the dough completely stuck to the peel I was using to move it to the pizza stone. I finally got it to transfer, but it was all bunched up in places and torn in others. I have since learned that I should put cornmeal on the pizza peel first…

    I was making sweet potato fries with the dormitory’s oven. I placed them on a pan with wax paper and went back to preparing the rest of my dinner. Next thing I know, the fire alarm goes off and I find out the wax paper was too tall and it was about to catch on fire! People walked into the kitchen to see what was wrong and needless to say, I was so embarrassed that I’ve never made sweet potato fries with wax paper again!

    I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies once with only half the amount of butter the recipe called for. I tried to add some more to the dough once I realized, but it didn’t quite work. I ended up with a dozen almost butter-less cookies and two dozen other cookies with way too much butter. They were edible, but definitely weird tasting.

    i’ve had a lot of cooking ‘whoops!’ in my time, but the most recent (err… tonight’s, to be honest) happened because i tried to substitute oil for applesauce in my cornbread muffins. they’re totally stuck to the muffin liners, so i’ve resorted to scooping out what i can with a spoon. i was so excited to have it with my chili too! i hate when i have a vision of a perfect meal, and it ends up being a huge flop.

    i’m so sorry about your recent accident! the same thing happened to me, too :( my dad and i went to the gym together one day, and we were separated by a few treadmills. i finished my run and walked over to him to tell him that i was going to the weight room. i stepped onto the treadmill next to him, and before i knew it, i was flying off! the treadmills were placed right in front of a wall, so i ended up smashing into it. i looked up afterwards and it was running at 5.5! when i tell people what happened, they always say, “how could you not tell that it was still running!?”, but i think we both know that the real question is, “who DOESN’T stop the treadmill before they get off!?”

    great giveaway! i would love the honey or vanilla 0% chobani :)

    My “Embarrassing” Exercise Mishap:
    For our honeymoon, we took a cruise to the Caribbean. The one thing that is nice about Cruise ships is the gorgeous workout facility. The treadmills overlooked the front of the ship so while you ran, you stared out into the mystic of crystal clear waters in the tropics. Well, one day, I was running on the treadmill while my newly wedded hubs was living it up at the casino. I was feeling so great, loving my life, loving the view and all of a sudden we hit a rough patch of waves. I went flying off the treadmill and onto the guy next to me. Little did I know that during this incident, my shorts rode up my behind exposing my entire left butt cheek. Not the best impression to throw myself on another man half naked on my second day of marriage. LoL

    Oh and I would be ecstatic with ANY flavor of Chobani. I love them all equally! :)

    My worst cooking whoops just happened the other night. I was using all burners on my gas stove with the spatulas, and spoonulas (with wooden handles) neatly placed in the middle, or so I thought. I kept smelling something weird, but I thought it was what I was cooking. No, my spoonula was in the middle of the burner flame ignited. Whoops.

    Just thought of this… used chili powder instead of cinnamon when making pumpkin oatmeal pancakes not too long ago! Major fail.

    Oh, man… I was trying to impress a new gentleman in my life by cooking a delicious meal of chicken fettuccine. It’s a SUPER easy recipe and I was bragging about how awesome it tastes. When it came out of the oven, we both took a huge bite… and spit it back out. Something was SO off… and it was then that I realized that I used Cream of Celery soup instead of Cream of Chicken. You wouldn’t think it’d be that bad, but oh yeah… it was bad.

    Luckily, the relationship has survived… even though the fettuccine didn’t.

    Honey is my favorite Chobani flavor, so I’d have to go for that!

    My biggest cooking oops is still talked about in my family to this day. My mom and her boyfriend (now my stepdad) went out on Saturday nights a lot and my brother and I would be left home alone. We were usually bored and made some sort of treat for them when they came home. Well, this night we decided to make jam filled muffins and when I read the salt amount to my brother, I read 1 cup rather than 1 teaspoon. We didn’t try them before we served them so we had no idea how bad they were. We were so proud when we were serving them and my mom and stepdad were trying to fake it but finally said they couldn’t eat it. I was horrified, embarrassed and cried, but my brother laughed. I can laugh about it now, but when I was 8, it wasn’t so funny.

    My favorite Chobani is pineapple. YUM-O!

    Oh my goodness, where do I start. When I am not doing homework at home, I am usually in the kitchen whipping up some new recipe I discovered. So, through a significant amount of trial and error, I have created some serious kitchen blunders! The worst one was when I first began to really find an interest in cooking. My mother was a, “dump it out of the box and read the directions” kind of gal, so my most memorable meals were typically not from home but actually while visiting friends or family. I was staying with my grandparents one summer as a child and the most delicious morsel was set on my plate. It came to me by the name of “stuffed peppers”, woah…

    So, one adventurous afternoon (about 15 years later) I decided, “man, grandma’s stuffed peppers were so good, I want to try and make them”. So, I went to the store I bought the ingredients and set off on my kitchen endeavor. Well, I was raised on ground turkey and have never taken to the taste of ground beef, so of course where the recipe called for ground beef, I substituted. However, what my grandma thought may have been common sense, was NOT to a kitchen beginner with no prior “stuffed peppers” experience. Apparently, you cook the meat BEFORE you put it in the pepper and then in the oven.

    Well, about 45 minutes later, I brought the peppers on a darling little tray to our dining room, Served them from the tray one by one onto my best plates below, just as my grandmother had done years ago. The dimly lit room was set for a romantic evening with my future husband and everything smelled so good so we dug in! Well, thanks to the dimly lit room or what one might call, “mood lighting”, we got half way through our peppers before we realized we had eaten about a 1/4 of a cup of raw ground turkey. Since the peppers had been in the oven for nearly an hour they had partially cooked, but just enough so you were not sure if the meat was raw or if the peppers had cause the ingredients to stay moist.

    Well, luckily it was not too much of a devastation because Brandon stayed around and married me, but only after a full night of sharing the porcelain throne. Note to self: cook the meat before you put it in the peppers :)

    Necessity isn’t always the mother of good inventions. My biggest “whoops” occured when I was dead-set on baking a pie and making a crust from scratch – and it had to be THAT day. We were out of shortening and I couldn’t drive… so I got creative. Figuring one fat’s as good as another, I used some of our bacon drippings (Southerners save this for all sorts of cooking) to form the crust. It probably would have been tasty for a meat pie, or maybe quiche, but for a sweet and creamy buttermilk pie? Not so good. Speaking of sweet and creamy… I’d love a case of Raspberry or Honey.

    The first cooking oops I can think of was a couple Thanksgivings ago. I was making pecan pies and didn’t have enough pecans. I ran to the store, grabbed a bag, and ran home to finish them up. After I poured the nuts into the rest of the mix and stirred it I thought something looked strange. I then looked at the bag and found out that I had accidentally grabbed walnuts instead of pecans! I decided to cook it anyway and it actually turned out great!

    I’d love the vanilla Chobani so that I can use it for anything! (smoothies, oatmeal, etc.)

    What a nice article! I hope health magazines pay you to write for them! :)

    I would love for the plain or blueberry Chobani to appear at my doorstep!

    My biggest whoops moment was back in college. I had the flu and wanted some chicken noodle soup. As I was simmering the soup, I started hearing something dripping in the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen, I figured the soup was somehow boiling out of the pot. I returned about 10 minutes later to (no joke) finding the soup all over my apartment ceiling! I still have the picture to prove it!

    I am not a big cook, though I’d love to do more if I had the time (my commute one way to work is 2.5 hrs). Once, while making mac & cheese, I spilled all of the pasta while draining it. I almost started crying because I ruined it! Silly now looking back.

    I haven’t met a flavor of Chobani that I didn’t like, but 0% honey is my favorite! :)

    I put a REALLY hot pepper in a stir fry once, not thinking that it would be hot enough for me. Boy was I wrong. I even burned my tongue trying it. I ended up taking a spoon and poking around the stir fry to get all of the super hot pepper pieces out!

    OH MY GOSH!!! This is an AWESOME giveaway :] I would love to try pineapple & pomegranate! My worst baking disaster was peanut butter brownies. I turned the oven temp. up wayyy too high on accident. You can imagine my shock when I started smelling a burning smell coming from the over after 10 minutes. It came out burned on all sides and liquid in the middle :[ Such a sad waste of chocolate and peanut butter.

    I put too much water in the rice cooker and started experimenting with condiments… it didn’t go over so well.

    I like the plain! :)

    Hmmm I guess it would be when I added too much BBQ sauce to my first thing of mealtloaf. And my meatloaf was literally sitting in a huge pool of liquid. I knew that wasn’t right.

    And pineapple would be my choice!

    Over the summer I attempted to invent my own cookie recipe. They turned out delicious, but apparently the batter was too thin because I ended up with “cookie pancakes” :P

    Call me boring, but I love plain Chobani! Or vanilla :)

    My biggest cooking mishap was when I tried to bake an apple pie from scratch for Thanksgiving with a 102 degree fever. I was way too out of it to keep all the ingredients and measurements straight and was shaking with the chills the entire time. Needless to say, I ended up giving up and my mom took over so that we would actually have a dessert after dinner.

    My favorite flavor is the pomegranate, but I can’t wait to try their 3 new flavors!

    and my biggest cooking “whoops” would be using salt by accident rather than sugar when baking choco chip cookies ;(

    I bake in my school’s coffee shop and have had too many “oops” to count, but the worst was when I forgot to spray the muffin tin for cream cheese cupcakes and they were never coming out of the pan.

    I love the peach Chobani!

    I’ve always wanted to try Pineapple Chobani!

    Last week I was baking pumpkin scones and I’m supposed to check under the oven (where my family likes to store pots and pans). I forgot, and after about 5 minutes, I smell smoke and open up the storage drawer to see one of the pot lids on fire! I freaked out and screamed for my dad, who came and promptly dumped it in the sink and drowned the flames. Total fail :(

    I moved to Australia back in the 80s (lived there four years) and made a recipe called Cabbage Patch Stew not long after I moved there. I bought chili powder in the store and expected it to be like US chili powder. Not! It was pure chili pepper powder and I had added 3 Tablespoons to my pot! My husband had been fasting for three days and was eager for supper…but it was way too hot to eat!

    I would love to try the pomegranate and haven’t found it in my area. There are so many uses for plain though…that’s what I’d probably want a case of!

    My biggest recent kitchen fail was a dirt cake flop — I messed up the pudding layer somehow and it was rubbery/chewy/clumpy. Gross!

    Pomegranate Chobani is my favorite!

    Hmm…I have many cooking “whoops”! The worst was probably getting all excited about making “black bean brownies” and actually thinking they would taste good…maybe they would have tasted better if the beans were pureed more or if I added more liquid…I don’t think I added enough liquid at all. They were pretty hard and down right DISGUSTING. Another “whoops” which I think is hilarious when it happens (but no fun to clean up!!!) is when oatmeal EXPLODES in the microwave…and when your having OIAJ it’s even sadder :-(

    And I would LOVE raspberry!!! That would make my years at college WONDERFUL!!!

    Biggest cooking whoops: using the “left over” pulp from a juicer to make crackers and then add cranberries and brown sugar to make them sweeter…It was GROSS!!!

    Flavor: Vanilla!

    My worst cooking oops was related to bread baking. I added all of the ingredients (so I thought) to my bread maker, and left for the day. I planned to return to a wonderfully smelling house and a beautiful loaf of bread. Well, when I came home, there was a delicious fragrance of bread in the air. However, the loaf was not so beautiful. It didn’t rise at all. Thinking back, I realized that I didn’t add any yeast. Oops. Poor brick of a loaf…

    I’d love to win a mixed variety case of Chobani…or Strawberry. Yum!

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣

Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣

2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
